- Page 2 Locomotive decoder LE103XF The LE103XF Universal Decoder The LE103XF represents a whole new concept to the evolution of DCC. Not only is the LE103XF designed to use with our own DIGITAL plus system, it is also designed to be at home on all the other popular NMRA DCC systems.
- Page 3 Locomotive decoder LE103XF Preparing to Install the LE103XF The locomotive must be tested for excellent operation on normal DC power before installing the decoder. Replace worn out motor brushes and burned out light bulbs. Clean any dirt or oxidation from the wheels and pickups, and make sure that electrical contact is smooth.

Locomotive decoder LE103XF DO NOT WRAP decoder with electrical tape or shrink wrap! Doing so will impede air circulation and degrade the performance of the decoder. Instead, put electrician tape over any part of the locomotive frame or body that might touch the decoder and use double sided foam mounting tape to mount the decoder. - Page 5 Locomotive decoder LE103XF Step by Step Installation Two wires connect the decoder to the motor. Make sure that the motor is electrically isolated from both track pickups: • Orange wire to the motor terminal that was previously connected to the right rail (Pin #1). •...

Used to achieve prototypical braking at red signal indications if conventional DC control CV29.2 is disabled. (CV 29 bit 2 = 0) 0 = locomotive proceeds with track voltage dependent speed inside the conventional DC section.
- Page 11 Locomotive decoder LE103XF Creating a Speed Curve One common feature is to set a specific operating speed curve for your locomotives. This is usually done to have dissimilar locomotives have the same performance characteristics or to have the locomotives perform more prototypically. Start by writing down how you want to assign the internal speed settings to the speed steps, for example by making up a table as shown below.
